Before you apply

Each sourced observation identifies its reporting period and review date. School-reported accreditation is labeled separately from accreditor-directory verification. Missing information remains marked “Not yet verified.” Ask the school about the full cost, clinical schedule, approved locations, and eligibility for your intended state of practice.
